    overwatch servers down bahrain valorant over 300ms cant play **** 🫡🫡🫡

  • Fleegler_ Fleegler (@Fleegler_) reported

    @Kesswylie it's very good, not a few "minor updates" which is very annoying, and yeah blizzard kinda sucks but the overwatch team was specifically mentioned as being the team that didn't have all the issues

  • Zupermon248 Zupermon (@Zupermon248) reported

    Bro Overwatch 2 keeps putting me in Americas server with 180-220 ping after the latest update. Fix your queue @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch

  • Becklebee_ Alex (Derogatory) (@Becklebee_) reported

    Overwatch defenders are really missing the point. Of course Overwatch 2 is good, it's literally Overwatch 1. The problem is that it's the same game with disgusting monetization practices. It's incredible that they made loot boxes look inocennt in comparison.

  • 2myfavoriteliar antonella. 𓆗 (@2myfavoriteliar) reported

    playing ow and my bf and i have been put in US servers three matches in a row now.... we're in sweden.... anyone else having this issue with overwatch 2??

  • Kian_mckennaz_ Kian Mckenna (@Kian_mckennaz_) reported

    My ping on overwatch is so high. Next time just take the servers down please.

  • MrPigeonss haveyouseenmypigeon (@MrPigeonss) reported

    @UberDanger I can’t wait for the campaign mode. Shooters against other real people are either super boring or they are fun, but also the most unbalanced bullshit. Overwatch characters are gonna be sick in a good campaign, but the multiplayer is just full of issues.

  • hrtattack9 Patty (@hrtattack9) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN after the latest update of Overwatch the latency is 340, everhthing is jittery and unplayable. For the whole team (both randoms and grouped people) Lost a game on ranked because the enemy team did not seem to have that problem. Fix?

  • PapaStiltz PapaStiltz (@PapaStiltz) reported

    @ohPPhYSiCz @TheFoxBook I love overwatch no game like it, but I’m not gonna sacrifice a game I love because a corporation isn’t doing their job to remove these internal issues.

  • MiniPut98 Mini (@MiniPut98) reported

    So Overwatch 2 got an update and they decided not to fix the bug where you get kicked from a match for getting an achievement.

  • awhyourecute (@awhyourecute) reported

    anyone else getting error login for overwatch? 🫤

  • dylandongle dylam (@dylandongle) reported

    @fresh_kiwi_ Nice to know that it's reasonably common knowledge that Kotick is the reason the Overwatch team was pressured into covering up. So why are people still blaming the team? And not the actual problem?

  • HenryOunesivix1 Henry509 (@HenryOunesivix1) reported

    Error starting the game @PlayOverwatch sounds about right with every update #Overwatch

  • Floofy_gg Floofy (@Floofy_gg) reported

    @ItsChavaBtw Oh I know it's a skill issue. I'm trash at overwatch

  • xiuzoe 佐伊 🐒 (@xiuzoe) reported

    I HATE OVERWATCH!! FIX YOUR **** YOU ******* APES. SURE, GIVE US AN UPDATE THAT MAKES THE GAME WORSE AHHHHH! 👌🏼🐒

  • Lanirus2 Lanirus (@Lanirus2) reported

    @BARAGAKI77 yeah i got one and its close to 1k cus the only way is through bundles. overwatch runs on a toaster u could buy a prebuilt $500 **** tower and run that no problem

  • fortnitehookerr nitehook (@fortnitehookerr) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch servers post update have very high latency and rubberbanding. Is this issue prevalent in other people's games as well ? I had a whole lobby of people playing comp on 300ms.

  • ShutUpColton Colton (@ShutUpColton) reported

    can’t login to overwatch💔🥲

  • CridoGhandi Twi Yan Gil (@CridoGhandi) reported

    @PlayOverwatch **** game, constant rubberbanding issues. Hope this Overwatch 2 project fails.

  • mmattbtw matt! 🩻 (@mmattbtw) reported

    is overwatch broken

  • rudesoffice rude (@rudesoffice) reported

    All Overwatch has to to fix the game do is add an aim penalty for movement

  • xShogga Shogga (returning oct) 🔞💜🐙 (@xShogga) reported

    @BlizzardCS Do we have a time frame on the looping merging issue with the Red Account changed bug? I can’t go into the shop because I am merging and my ticket was replied w/ basically we can’t do anything the overwatch team is working on it. Like I don’t wanna loose my progress.

  • pumpkincandys 🎃riri🎃 (@pumpkincandys) reported

    @scorchingleaves bro. in my qp match, I was fixing my broken controller settings (before I realized overwatch ****** console gamers for crossplatform), this guy said "oh not (my username) again this guy sucks" AND LEFT BRO IT WAS RAVENOUS

  • fakejustin4real J113 (@fakejustin4real) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I don’t think it’s just PCs shutting down from overwatch. My Xbox Series X did this yesterday on a brand new console that was only 3 hours old. Maybe it was a hardware issue but it’s worth a look.

  • Rustypielover RustyPieLover - The Pie Lord 🏳️‍🌈 (@Rustypielover) reported

    Kita and I actually can't play Overwatch 2 The PowerPoint presentation, coupled with rubberbanding and a consistent 250 plus ping is nuts What's strange is, I have less issues with Valorant than with this game...

  • goosetwat0714 nothing (@goosetwat0714) reported

    @BlizzardCS i cant login on xbox on overwatch? it won’t authenticate with xbox network. There is nothing wrong with the network and other games are working as well.

  • contrablu1989 Contrablu1989 (@contrablu1989) reported

    @IGN Is this because of all the people they ****** with Overwatch 2 issues?

  • BajanWitDaHoodi S.V Small (@BajanWitDaHoodi) reported

    Either Overwatch servers down again or digicel is bare ****

  • Telo4k Telo (@Telo4k) reported

    Wish overwatch would fix the stats already..

  • TheNekoOtaku1 TheNekoOtaku (@TheNekoOtaku1) reported
